STATEMENT FROM TRUSTEES

It is the aim of the Trustees of The Wingate School to provide
as good a Secondary School as there is in the State, and surround
it with the very best influences.

The Wingate School has just closed its nineteenth session, which
has been the best in its history. During the past session the school
has been well advertised by its excellent work.

The happiness of our homes and the success of our children
largely depends upon their education. We believe that every life
can be increased in value by Christian education. An object of such
vast importance should move us to make greater sacrifices.

We offer your bright boys and girls the very best advantages in
moral and intellectual culture, under strictly religious influences.
We employ in our faculty only men and women who afe well
qualified — intellectually, morally and religiously — for this work,
and we will co-operate' with them in maintaining the high ideals
of the school.

All students who make honest endeavor to improve will be
treated with the utmost kindness, patience and forbearance, and
encouraged in every possible way; but those whose work is seri-
ously and continually deficient because of carelessness or indif-
ference will be required to withdraw from the institution.

With a building constructed and equipped for the comfort and
highest interest of the students; with a full corps of zealous, sym-
pathetic teachers, and with ttje unusual success of the past nineteen
years to encourage us, we look forward to greater success during
the next session. The school offers exceptional opportunities to
those desiring a thorough education.

The Wingate School

History

The Wingate School was established in accordance with
a resolution passed by the Union Baptist Association at its
annual session in October, 1895, for the higher intellectual,
moral and religious training of the boys and girls of the
Association and surrounding country. A Board of Trustees
consisting of J. W. Bivens, Rev. Hight C. Moore, 0. M.
Sanders, M. W. Griffin, J. C. Sikes, B. F. Parker and R. F.
Beasley, were appointed to secure a suitable location within
the bounds of the Association, and to establish there a school
of high grade, which should be owned by the Association,
and conducted under Christian influences.

The Association, at its annual session in 1896, established
a Board of Trustees, consisting of fifteen members, to be
selected from the various Churches of the Association, each
to serve a term of six years, and five to be elected by the
Association every two years. The Legislature of North
Carolina, in 1897, granted to the school a charter which
secures to it all the protection and privileges that are us-
ually granted to a college.

But with the steady growth of the school, plans were
formed for the erection of a new building. A magnificent
two-story brick structure, modern in all its arrangements,
is used in the cause of Christian education.

Buildings and Surroundings

The lot on which the building stands comprises ten acres.
In addition to this the Trustees own sixteen acres surround-
ing the school lot, which they are selling at reasonable rates
to those desiring to build near the school.

The building consists of six class rooms, two society
halls, two music rooms, an office, library, and auditorium.

In locating the school at "Wingate the Trustees were
exceedingly fortunate. The place is noted for its health-
fulness. The surrounding country presents an endless suc-
cession of hills and streams, and there is no local cause for
disease. The people are enterprising and prosperous, and
the moral and religious tone of this community is unsur-
passed.

There cannot be found within the limits of the State a
more moral and law-abiding class of citizens than those who

6 THE WING ATE SCHOOL

live in and around Wingate. They < are industrious and
honest and "live at home," with all that the term implies.
The sentiment of the village is against those things which
lower the moral ideals of a community. Cigarettes cannot
be bought here. Whoever patronizes the school may rest
assured that both the mental and moral training of their
children will be carefully and properly guarded.

Religious Influences

The Baptist Church is only a short distance from the
school building, and is thoroughly progressive, and in hearty
sympathy with the school in all its work. Pastor C. J. Black
knows how to manage Christian work with enthusiasm and
earnestness. The religion of church, school and village has
been greatly revived, and we trust that we may do greater
things for the Master. We have preaching twice a month,
prayer meetings every Wednesday night, and one of the best
Sunday Schools in the State. Frequently ministers conduct
the opening exercises of the school. Stfidents are specially
encouraged to become active in religious work. It is great
to see young men and young women stepping out for God
as in the meeting last March. A student in our school feels
the call to that higher plane of living.

Societies

There are in connection with the school five excellent
Literary Societies — the Philosophian, the Gladstone, the
Browning, the Poe, and the Athenian. The Philosophian
and Gladstone Societies consist of young men, and meet
every Friday night for the discussion of questions which
are intended to be practical and of such character as to
stimulate an active interest in passing events and in general
research. Frequent public discussions and debates with
other high schools will be held in which the members learn
to express themselves with intelligence and -ease before ah
audience.

The Browning Society consists of young ladies, and
meets on Friday afternoons. The exercise" consist of writ-
ten discussions, essays, recitations, and niusic. ' The Poe
Society is composed of second-year girls, and is conducted
in every respect like the society for young ladies; thus
offering to these girls especial advantages along this line.
The Athenian Society is conducted by and for the small
girls, and is -a most interesting and helpful organization.

THE WINGATE SCHOOL 7

The lady teachers offer such suggestions and help from
time to time as they deem wise. The societies exert a
most wholesome influence over the school, and determine
largely the character of its public exercises. One Friday
afternoon in each month an hour is devoted to a public
exercise controlled by the societies. No school of high
grade is complete without an organization of this kind.
They are necessary factors in the all-round development of
young men and women.

The halls are nicely furnished and are the pride of the
school.

All students, unless excused by the Principals, are re-
quired to join one of the societies as active members, and
to conform to its rules and regulations.

Library

A suitable room has been arranged in the building for
our library, which contains a number of volumes of valu-
able books, and is open each day to all students. Many
valuable books have been bought and several donated by
friends during the past year. A new encyclopedia has been
added, and this is very helpful to the students in their refer-
ence work. A number of public documents come to our
library. These furnish excellent supplementary reading.
.Students also have access to the magazines, daily and weekly
papers which are kept in the reading room. The library will
he greatly replenished for next session. The librarian will
aid students in finding Avhat they want. Debate libraries
are sent by the State librarian. These are very helpful in
all public debates. A record of all books will be kept.

student that is advanced enough to do the work. It is not confined
to ministerial students but to the student body in general. We will
give three periods each week, thus enabling students to keep up
their other work.

Scholarship

Wake Forest College grants one scholarship each year to
The "Wingate School. This will be given to the young man
of the Senior Class who makes the best grade in a com-
petitive examination.

This gift speaks for the excellent reputation the Win-
gate School has made, and will aid many worthy young
men in securing a college education.

Sunday School Normal Training

No Sunday School is better than its teachers and offi-
cers. Realizing this fact, and, also, realizing) the urgent
demand for more and better trained Sunday School work-
ers, The Wingate School adopted the Sunday School Nor-
mal Training Course prescribed by the Sunday School
Board, Nashville, Tenn., and gives every student a chance
to elect some work in this course, and better prepare him-

THE WINGATE SCHOOL 11

self or herself for more and greater service. A diploma is
given by the Sunday School Board on completion of the
first book in the course.

Athletics

No school is complete without some form of athletics,
as a sound body is essential to a sound mind. The Wingate
School has an excellent baseball ground, where all the boys
are encouraged to meet and take a part in the game. There
are several tennis courts, and a basket nail court near the
school building. If a student does not like baseball, he may
play tennis or basket ball. The girls have a tennis court of
their own and frequently make excellent players.

Reviews and Examinations.

In order to secure thoroughness, frequent drills and re-
views are given, and in no case are students excused from
the quarterly examinations.

Parents often commit a great error by taking their chil-
dren out of school before examinations, or by allowing them
to stop while the examinations are in progress. No time of
the school year is so well spent as that devoted to review
and examinations.

Reports are sent to parents, that they might see what
their children are doing. Close attention to these reports
on the part of parents is earnesly desired, together with
their frequent advice and counsel. Don't allow your chil-
dren to miss examinations.

Class Periods

The opening exercises commence strictly at 8 :30 in the
morning and last fifteen minutes. Twelve recitation periods
of thirty minutes each follow, allowing for two recesses and
a noon hour. Students are required to report on exercises
and recitations.

month.

tory, Geography, Grammar — any or all of these — $2.00 per

No deduction is made for time lost unless it amounts to
a week of continuous absence. Students entering school
must pay for at least a month's tuition. Four weeks con-
stitute a month, both for board and tuition.

Ministerial students, children of pastors, and needy
widows receive 50 per cent, discount on tuition fees in the
Literary Department.

Boarding Arrangements

Our system of boarding in private homes is more con-
venient to students than dormitories. Everything is fur-
nished at the low price of ten dollars per month. Girls and
boys must have different boarding places. Several of the
most convenient places. have been reserved for girls, and
they will be required to board at these homes. From time
to time a report of their conduct must be given to the Prin-
cipal. Girls must consult the principal before deciding on
a boarding place. All those who keep boarders must co-
operate with the Faculty and report the general conduct of
the students under their charge. With the above plan par-
ents may feel sure that the best interests of their children
will be carefully looked after.

General Information

Parents who are blessed with bright boys and girls are
urged to come to Wingate. At present a number of houses
are nearing completion. This shows that we are taking on
new life. We invite comparison with other schools in thp
matter of expense, convenience, and health conditions. Tn
fact, a more desirable place for a school — taking everything

THE WINGATE SCHOOL 13

into consideration — could hardly be found. Move to Win-
gate and become a citizen of a community whose watchword
is "Education." Within the last year several families have
moved here, and although houses are scarce, if you desire to
come you can buy a lot and build, purchase a home, or rent
a house.

Wingate has much to offer the man who is interested in
education. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trus-
tees and the Principal of the school are at your service for
any information along this line.

Entrance

Students should enter the first day, if possible, and re-
main through the entire term. However, classes may be
entered at any time. The student finds it greatly to his
advantage to begin with the other members of the class so
he can have a fair show with them. Boys and girls delay
entering because they hesitate to enter the lower classes.
Don't make this mistake. You will be made to feel at hoinp
at Wingate.

The Relations of Teacher and Pupils

Every member of the Faculty for this year is a conse-
crated Christian, who is anxious to instill into the lives of
boys and girls those principles which make life worth living.
They are all well prepared for the careful instruction of
those in their respective departments. The motto: "Indi-
vidual attention and personal helpfulness" will be carried
out in all departments of the school as far as practicable.
The girls will be under the personal supervision of the
lady members of the Faculty, and will have the warm sym-
pathy and care that is prevalent in the home life.

Only necessary communication between the boys and
girls will be allowed, and the tendency to neglect duty for
the social pleasures which sometimes exist in co-educational
schools will be carefully restricted.

Few rules will be made, but kindness, help, and firmness
on the part of the teachers, and obedience, courtesy and
respect on the part of the students, will, in our mind, largely
obviate the institution of a great many of the sterner things
known as law.

Boys will find that they have sympathetic helpers in
the schoolroom, on the atheletic field, in the society halls,
and, in fact, in every phase of school life, in the Principals

14 THE WINGATE SCHOOL

of the school. They will at all times he ready to share ;i
joy or a sorrow with you. Sympathy, Helpfulness and
Fellowship are the watchwords. "A sound body, a well-
trained mind and a true, noble character for each student,"
is our motto. How well we have succeeded in our aim is
shown by the work our students are doing wherever they
go. "A tree is known by its fruits; a school by its results.'*

To Parents

You owe your children at least an education that will
enable them to cope with their fellowmen in the everyday
walks of life. Many parents cannot give their children a
college education, but they can send them to a school which
is nearer them, and where the expense is much less than
half that in the higher institutions.

For those who come to us, we not only offer to them
what most of the public and high schools give, but we offer-
to your children exceptional advantages in "Music, Elocution
and Literary work.

Look at our cheap tuition and board rates and see if
you cannot make just a little sacrifice and place your boy
or girl with us at the opening of the Fall Term. Remember
that happiness comes in service. A little extra service for
your child now means untold happiness for you later when
he or she is an honor to yon in the world of service.

Department of Music

There is no subject that should occupy a higher place in
the school curriculum than the study of music. Nothing has
greater power in awakening and stimulating thought and
action. It combines the training of mathematics and lan-
guage, and is a serious factor in the mental, physical and
social development of the individual. It enriches social
efficiency not only as a productive unit but enlarges the
capacity to enjoy. Music is superior to other subjects in
that it not only cultivates the mind and the physical body
but also cultivates the heart.

Excellent opportunity is given in our school for private
lessons, both in voice and piano, at reasonable rates. From
the very beginning the pui^il is introduced to the higher
class music, the material being selected from the best com-
posers according to the needs of each student.

Pupils are required to know something of the life and

THE WINGATE SCHOOL 15

works of the most noted composers. The music pupils take
part in each meeting of the Literary Societies and in all
public entertainments. The music course prepares for the
freshmen class of all the best colleges of the South. We
charge less for music than any other institution. Medals
are offered in this department.

J. HAWLEY BYRD, KERSHAW, S. C.

Mr. Byrd had attended high school some before coming to Win-
gate, and therefore spent only two years with us. As a student he
was near the ideal. He is a hard worker, ever faithful to duty, con-
scientious in his every act. He possesses every" characteristic of a
whole-souled Baptist parson. He even believes that a preacher
ought to marry. Everybody, including the Philosophian Society,
will greatly miss him.

MISS PAULINE BOGAN, WINGATE, N. C.

Miss Pauline possesses a rare talent for music, and stands in
that strong class of students who perhaps retain most because tfcey

THE WINGATE SCHOOL 19

have toiled for it. She was easily one of our best characters iu
plays, and delighted the audience every time.

MR. JOE L. CARROLL, TURKEY, i\. C.

Joe, the youngest member of the class, believes in performing his
prescribed duty, but he prefers to use the extia time in the easy-
going life. He spent two and one-half years in The Wingate School,
and represented the Gladstone Society in debates. He proved him-
self capable, but was hindered some by periodic attacks of Cupid.

MISS MARY GADDY, WINGATE, N. C.

A loyal student, hard working, and keeps all her troubles to her-
sqelf. Faithful, patient and true, she has won her way into the
hearts of faculty and students. As a Brownnig reciter she proved
her ability.

MR. H. A. HELMS, INDIAN TRAIL, N. C.

If it is a man you want, we have him here, "all wool and a yard
wide," and a more popular, congenial fellow has never left this
institution. He came to Wingate to stay one year. We kept him
three, and now Wake Forest College has a claim on him. As guar-
dian of the Gladstone Society he is an invincible debater, and as
an evidence of this he was awarded the debater's medal at county
commencement, March 26, 1915.

MISS NAOMI HINSON, WINGATE, N. C.

One of those modest girls, who moves along in the even tenor
of her way. Above the average in scholarship and conduct. She
has an admirable record as a student, holding the full respect of
students and faculty. She is the musician of the class, and great
possibilities are just ahead of her in that field of study.

MISS LILLY KEARNS, CONCORD, N. C.

A student who always prepared her recitations well, and now
stands ready for any college in the State. She has made many
friends in Wingate, and her grades indicate strength of scholar-
ship. She believes in co-education from a social viewpoint.

MESSRS. R. T. AND B. S. LILES, WINGATE, N. C.

They never separate themselves, therefore it would be bad form
to separate the "Liles Boys" here, so equally matched in manly
conduct, scholarship, debating and oratory. The school will greatly
miss their wholesome influence, and the PMlosophian Society will
feel a great loss at their absence. Everybody feels a deen interest
in such worthy boys. At commencment they proved their ability
as speakers by winning the debater's and orator's medals.

MISS DOROTHY LOWNEY, NEW YORK, N. Y.

A student of ability, of attractive personality, of marked talent
for vocal music, she has been great help in public occasions of the
school. Her Northern brogue was tempeied with a Southern ac-
cent, and with a mixture of Northern and Southern ideals, she has

20 THE WINGATE SCHOOL

easily proved her worthiness and ability. At commencement she
captivated the audienceand won the Browning reciter's medal.

MISS ETHEL SNYDER, WINGATE, N. C.

A typical high school student, showing efficiency in any phase
of school life or work. Her congeniality has made her popular.
She can adapt herself to any place at any time. She has only to
select her work, the ability is there already. She believes in an
easy-going life, with a friendly word for everybody.

MR. MARSHALL UZZLE, WILSON'S MILLS, N. C.

Having had high school training before coming to Wingate, he
spent only one year with us. He came reading every book within
his i each, and could easily acquire knowledge without hard study-
ing. He believed in traveling just a little behind schedule time,
and holds that the world is going too fast. Being a tennis player
of some note, he felt that it was his duty to instruct the lady
teachers in this game.

A Word From Those Who Know Us

WAKE FOREST COLLEGE
Office of the President

Wake Forest N. C, June 5, 1915.

I am very pleased to bear testimony to the solid work and high
ideals of The Wingate School. I can heartily commend to its pa-
trons the principals, Mr. J. G. Carroll, and his associate, Mr. Henry
J. Langston. In a recent visit, I had opportunity to observe, near
at hand, something of its inner spirit, and my former favorable
opinion, due to my knowledge of its teachers and such of its student^
as has come to Wake Forest, was heightened and confirmed.

WILLIAM LOUIS POTEAT.

OFFICE OF R. N. NISBIT
Superintendent Public Instruction of Union County

Monroe, N. C, June 3, 1915.

The Wingate School, located at Wingate, a beautiful little town
about six miles from Monroe, situated on hte main trunk lire of
the Seaboard Air Line Railway between Washington and Atlanta, is
one of our very best schools. The work done at this school ras
been of a high order, and we have reason to believe will continue
to be such under the present efficient principal.

I would also say, this school is one of the chief sources from
which has been drawn the teaching force of our county. There-
fore, I take pleasure in recommending this school to boys and girls
who wish to prepare for college or for life's work.'
, R. N. NISBET,

Superintendent Public Instruction of Ui ion County.

—Office of—
THE MONROE ENQUIRER

Monroe, N. C, June 10, 1915.

I have been a close and interested observer of The Wingato
School since its foundation. I have watched its product — the only-
thing by which a school can be really judged — the boys and girls
who go out from it. I unhesitatingly say that the school has, in a
large measure, filled its mission. In the development of the boys
and girls who have attended it The Wingate School, during its
twenty years of existence, has done a great work.

The principals of The Wingate School are men of high character,
They are earnest in their work, and are in every way competent for
the work in which they are engaged. The parents who send their
children to The^Wingate School get full value for every dollar spent.
